Passionate About:

*TRAVEL*MUSIC*FOOD*LOVE. My entire life I have loved working around and helping people. I love enriching myself in cultures and tradition. I believe every able bodied soul, regardless or religion, sexual orientation, or race should work together to help one another out and better our society. I am studying to become and radiological technician and I am very excited to work in the medical field. I believe the only way we can better society is to start with ourselves.

About Us

San Diego State University is a chapter of Global Medical Brigades, an international movement of students and medical professionals working alongside local communities and staff to implement sustainable health systems. We work in remote, rural, and under resourced communities in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua and Ghana who would otherwise have limited to no access to health care. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are provided access to healthcare and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends. nnIn conjunction with our Medical Program, Global Brigades also supports communities with economic development, sanitation and clean water projects, and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving to a relationship of impact monitoring.
